Dear All, However, my major interest ; implementing FTP user isolation did not work well for me. On the Microsoft FTP user creation wizard: 1.The first option when selected ----- works. 2.My major interest The second option when selected works but exposes my password whenever i try to download a file using my account from the FTP SITE. 3.The third option was more of a confusion to me as I was unable to get it working. Pls assist. > However, my major interest ; implementing FTP user isolation did not > work well for me.

I don't know what you mean by "first option", "second option", "third option" - please be more explicit. Exposure of passwords is a built-in weakness of the FTP protocol. If you do not wish to expose your password in plain text, then you should not be using the FTP protocol at all. Or you can wrap the FTP protocol inside an SSL wrapper to secure the password transaction. That requires third-party add-ons.  SignatureRobin Walker [MVP Networking] rdhw@cam.ac.uk I think the OP meant the 3 isolation modes... Refer - Hosting Multiple FTP Sites with FTP User Isolation (IIS 6.0) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/b63de 8ef-e3c5-456d-a8ca-7af4198819d4.mspx?mfr=true SignatureRegards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ >> However, my major interest ; implementing FTP user isolation did not >> work well for me.

Which option you interested? the first one is default mode, behave like IIS 5 2nd one isolate using standalone or domain account, whereby user will be lock down at the root folder 3rd option integrated with AD environment..... similar to option 2 with more features.

Thanks everyone for your response. Hi Benard Cheah, My motive is to use the 2nd or 3rd option as long as my password is not exposed when I download a file containd in the FTP site. Thanks. > Dear All, > However, my major interest ; implementing FTP user isolation did not work [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > working. > Pls assist.
